Kristina Pedicone – Product Designer

Hi, I’m Kristina, a product designer building thoughtful B2C products with real-world impact.

I love working with people to solve problems that help other people. With over 15 years of experience, I focus on blending visual craft and user needs with business goals to deliver refined, results-driven digital products.

When I’m not working, I can usually be found developing games, with my nose in a book, wandering around the city with a good coffee, or on the perpetual hunt for a friendship bracelet large enough to fit around my TV.

For more info, or if you’d like to work together in the future, drop me a line.

Project highlights

Proactive service messaging for Chase customers

When critical service issues occur, Chase customers often lack clear signals and paths to resolution, leading them to rely on costly call-center support. We established a proactive service-messaging strategy that elevates these issues and directs customers to simple, in-channel self-serve solutions.

A faster, smarter homepage for Chase.com

Areas of expertise

User Experience Design (UX/CX)

I practice an informed design process that centers the user by leveraging research and insights to understand their needs, behaviors, and challenges, to create intuitive and frictionless experiences.

UI Design

I transform complex and nebulous problem spaces into simple, clean, and clear interfaces that emphasize usability and accessibility, no matter the medium or screen size.

Product Design

I am a hands-on designer with a high standard of craft and a deep understanding of the end-to-end product lifecycle, for both native and responsive web platforms.

Design Systems

I design for scalability by establishing foundational frameworks supported by flexible components, libraries and patterns, and scaffolded by robust documentation and guidelines.

Product Strategy

I help chart the course by ensuring all initiatives have direct lines to business goals, connecting product objectives with customer problems, and clearly outlining how to measure success.

Design Leadership

I empower my team to be successful by leading through the work, connecting the dots, and facilitating collaborative, no-ego relationships with cross-functional partners.To edit the text and items of your accordion, just mouseover the accordion module and click on the yellow edit icon.
